I’m sure I’ve posted this map before… but after spending nearly $70 on a tank of regular gas this afternoon (i drive a 4-door sedan) I couldn’t help but think back to this image and how perilous it seems.
The United States consumes more than 20,000,000 barrels of oil every day (more than 3 times any other country) but has less than 2% of the worlds remaining oil.
While energy efficient cars seem to be the no-brainer quick fix… I wonder if Americans are truly willing to sacrifice the feeling of satisfaction that many get when driving a behemoth of a car. (That’s why people drive Hummers, right? It’s not for the trunk space)
